Acetal Copolymer (Tecaform™)

Tecaform™ is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic offering high strength, stiffness and toughness. Tecaform™ is resistant to hot water, hydrocarbons and solvents, and it possesses good bearing and wear properties. It is available in natural and black grades. Tecaform™ is commonly used as bushings, rollers, wear strips and other applications requiring a combination of strength, low moisture absorption, chemical resistance and dimensional stability.

No centerline porosity

Good dimensional stability

Low moisture absorption

Good wear and abrasion properties

Excellent machinability

Black grade is FDA compliant

Good combination of mechanical properties • Good property retention at elevated temperatures

Chemical resistance to fuels and solvents, Tecaform™ is resistant to aqueous solutions with pH values ranging from 4 to 14.

Natural grade is FDA, USDA, NSF and 3A Sanitary compliant

Tecaform™ is used in a wide variety of industrial applications requiring good strength and toughness, dimensional stability; wear resistance and the ability to operate in a wet environment with little absorption. Material handling, machinery and fluid handling are some of the common industries utilizing Tecaform™’s combination of properties. Typical applications are gears, wear strips, bushings, pump parts, fittings and rollers.
